I vote no.  All it does is change the hearings from one of trying to gauge if the candidate is qualified for the position to one where the Congressmen grandstand and try to make political speeches.

Oral arguments are typically one hour, not four, by the way.

Uh, I'm not talking about confirmation hearings.
